IV. Future of Strategic Planning Process

• Experts recommend “start from scratch” development of strategic plan every 3 to 5 years

• Core of present Plan nearly 5 years old

• Strategic Planning Committee members will be designated at start of year in which new cycle begins

• All NCTR committees, staff and consultants will be charged with advancing goals set in Strategic Plan

• Strategic Planning Committee will report out to membership at annual conference
